RPE Solenoid Valves
RPE was founded in 1971 RPE srl is a family owned business which began
manufacturing electronics for washing machines.
In 1975 CEO and RPE founder Mr Giuliano Ravazzani began manufacturing plastic water solenoid valves for domestic appliances, for which many of the original innovative production process's still exist even today.
By the end of 1970's RPE had pushed
their manufacturing technology forward to include automated plastic
injection moulding and solenoid coil winding production systems to a
point that there were no external suppliers or sub-contractors and so
all manufacturing was totally in house and under full quality control.
Today RPE srl are key manufacturers into the landscape irrigation,
sanitary, household appliance, hydro massage, water / drink dispense,
steam oven / steam iron and coffee machine industries.
RPE srl solenoid valves are found in many major manufacturers world wide
such as Saeco, Smeg, Jacuzzi Europe, Electrolux, Euroclean, Candy,
Merloni, Doxon, Ideal Standard and Fratelli Frattini to name but a few.
RPE's strong commitment to product quality mean they are able to maintain internationally recognised certification from UL, EN60335, WRAS, ACS, NSF, KTW, DM174/2001 and BS EN 9001:2008.
RPE have; since their beginning focused on valve quality, reliability and performance and with today's markets requiring fully customizable products RPE have with their capacity and infrastructure been able to meet most particular project and purpose specific solutions.

2/2 Normally Closed (Fail-safe closed) electrical power to open water
solenoid valves to suit most water applications, pressure range 
0.2 to 10 Bar and control voltages ranging
from 12 volt RPE BC water solenoid valve DC through to 240vAC. The low
power 6.2 watt IPX fas-ton tag or IP65 flying lead wire coils allow for a
maximum 2 minutes power open flow with minimum 3 minutes closed coil
cooling off period.

R series BB mini mini latching / bi-stable RPE solenoid valve series.
Bi-stable (Latching) RPE solenoid valves require a quick millisecond
battery 
power pulse to stay Open then in reverse polarity to change
valve to Closed. Ideal solution for most battery and low power RPE BB
Latching solenoid valve water applications, pressure range remains from
0.2 through to 10 bar and control control voltage 6vdc up to 9vdc, and
can withstand 12vdc for a very short time. The latching system
millisecond power pulse means that the coil will not become hot so no
cooling off period is required.

RPE Solenoid Valves
BB - Latching Bi-stable (Power pulse stay open - reverse polarity power pulse will stay closed.)
BC - Normally Closed (Power to open, failsafe closed)
BA - Normally Open (Power to close, failsafe open)
